A cookie is a piece of data which is a small file of letters and numbers that is stored on the internet user’s browser, or the hard drive of their computer, if they agree. The information the cookie contains is set by a website's server and it can be used when the user visits the website. Cookies are designed to remember things that an internet user has done whilst on a website in the past, which can include putting products in a basket, logging in, or clicking on links. Cookies are not dangerous. They are not computer programs and cannot be used to circulate viruses. 
 

The cookies we use on our website are used in many ways, including:

• To keep a record of the products you've put in your shopping bag for the next time you visit;

• To make personalized product recommendations, based upon the previous times you've shopped on the website;

• To remember your preferences;

• To find out what the website doesn't do well and make improvements to it in the future;

• To allow you to share pages with social networks like Facebook; and

• To make sure advertising on other websites is relevant to you.

SESSION (OR TRANSIENT) COOKIES

Session cookies are stored in your computer's memory for the length of your browsing session. They become inaccessible after the session has been inactive for a time and are automatically deleted from your computer when the browser is closed. They allow you to move from page to page without having to log-in repeatedly.

​

PERSISTENT (OR PERMANENT) COOKIES

Persistent cookies are stored on the user's computer memory and are not deleted when the browser is closed. They are used to keep your preferences for the website, so that they will be remembered for next time you visit the website. They are also used to collect information about the number of visitors, the average time spent on a particular page and analyse shopping behavior on the website. This information is used to find out how the well the website works and where it can be improved.

​

FLASH COOKIES (OR LOCALLY SHARED OBJECTS)

You will probably have Adobe Flash installed on your computer. Many websites that contain Flash can also store small files on your computer that are used in the same way as cookies.

Websites choose to use Flash Cookies as these can hold more information than regular cookies. When you delete cookies via your browser, your Flash cookies are unlikely to be affected. A website may therefore still recognize your preferences if it used a Flash cookie to save them initially.

​

The Help section is usually found in the Menu bar at the top of the browser. Some browsers provide help if the F1 key is pressed.
